Adding A Touch of Fall

I have decided that for now I am going to keep the Aqua in the Living/Dining room, so adding a touch of fall called for pulling out a few of my burnt orange accessories. I used a rusty/burnt orange fabric for pillows and a table runner when we first moved into the house 6 yrs ago, so this is an easy addition.

I want the look to be subtle, so I think one pillow and the table runner is enough.

This floral arrangement is one I made last fall, so it is being recycled too. The colors are perfect.

The fabric on the pillow is formal enough that it works well with the aqua pillows.

I scrunched the runner on the coffee table and swapped out the aqua candles for some white ones. The aqua just looked way tooooooooo predictable.

A cute little aqua pumpkin that I found at GW last year. Perfect.

The dining area needed some of the burnt orange/rust color, so the perfect place for the cornucopia that I just found at GW.

I placed it on a gold charger, added a berry garland and some berry picks, feathers and a tiny aqua hydrangea. Just had to add a touch of that color.

Totally free easy change to bring in a little fall. Love it when that happens.

Marty,Such soft hues and the orange pillow is a perfect blending choice! The runner adds softness and continues the hue throughout the space! Your florals are gorgeous! I adore how it all flows continually together! I am so~o~o ready for Fall!!! In my home and my soul!Fondly,Pat

Love the new color palette, Marty. I am so ready to add fall touches,too. How did you change your blog to make you click over to read the rest. Did you just change to jump break in the settings or short or what? I still don't know how to add the pin it either. Look how smart you are.

Just the right amount of touches for this last week of August, Marty! I'm thinking and planning but not putting any Fall decor into action just yet. I was thinking next week, but hubby will be off, so I may just wait so I can play around with things until the following week.

So pretty, Marty! I love the touches of blue. Now hey, I'm not quite ready for fall yet. Where'd summer go? lol! I do love fall - the colors, the scents, dressing warmer. Just prefer the sunny days in the 70s and prefer to ignore the impending NEXT season which I do not like!

You have a beautiful living room Marty, everything in it is gorgeous, from the well thought out details, the pillows, to the warm colors and the fall feel to it and the fabulous big mirror, that makes a great statement! Lovely. Enjoy your weekend.FABBY

Marty, you have added just the perfect subtle touches to incorporate the changing of seasons. Everything looks so soft and pretty! Thank you for sharing this with us at TTF last week. I hope you are having a terrific day!
